The Northwestern.

NEW YORK, July 7.-Reports were
circulated in Wall street to-day that at
the last annual meeting of the North
western railroad it had been decided to
retire S10,OOO,OOO worth of bonds. Presi-
dent Sykes, however, states that the re-
port is incorrect. What was done was
to mark off the surplus of $4,000, 900
and reduce the cost of the property that
amount, and this action clinches all talk
of scrip dividend representing the ac-
cumulated surplus. The action was
fastened somewhat by frequent calls
from the stakeholder for a dividend of
the surplus, and as it is against the
policy of the management to water the
capital in any way, the resolution
changing off the surplus and marking
down the cost of the property was
placed before the stockholders and
adopted by them at the annual meeting.

THE MATTER OF RATES.

Some time ago the state railway COM
miSSionerS gave a special Eastern rate
to the paper mills located at Fergus Falls,
which enabled those mills to bring their
product into the st. Paul and MinneapO-
lis market cheaper than the Minneapolis
mills could get their output West. Nat
urally the Flour City mills protest
against discrimination of this kind and
pray that the special rate may be abol-
iShed.
The commissioners are to reopen the
case on the 20th Of the present month
and give hearing to both sides. Look
ing at the matter with reference to the
broad principles of equity, the point
made by the Minneapolis mills seems to
be well taken. If the Fergus Falls mills
are granted a special rate to enable
them to get into the Twin City
market, then the Minneapolis
mills should be granted the same
rate to Fergus Falls. That is
nothing more than fair. The bulk of
the consumption of building paper is in
the West and Northwest. The Fergus
l.
sumer, and have besides the advantage
of cheaper labor and a cheaper plant in
placing their product. 1t is obviously
unfair, then, that, having already these
especial advantages, they should be ac-
corded additional ones in order that
they may enter the Eastern market.
Exactly the same privileges should be
accorded both the city and country
mills. They should be placed upon an
exactly equal footing as far as railroad
rates are concerned, and then let the
one which best suits the consumer Sc
cure the trade. And the same line of
reasoning should hold regarding other
kinds of business.
The law should accord no one eS-
pecial privileges. Such action consti-
tutes exactly the kind of protection
which the West has always declared
against, and should not be cOunte-
nanced.
St. Paul daily globe., 1887-07-08

possible to them if they could be made
to realize the opinion which intelligent
and unpreiudiced people all over the
country must have of them. The
disappointment to the people of
st. Louis and of the other places in the
West which the presidential party in
tended visiting will naturally be great
over the abandonment of the trip, and
they are not in consequence likely to re-
gard the q. A. r. posts responsible for
it with any too great favor. Though, as
Mr.. CLEVELAND himself points out, the
q. A. r., as body, is by no means re-
sponsible for the ill-considered mouth
ings of scme of its members it will find
difficulty in freeing itself from some of
the Odium, unless indeed it visits
with official condemnation those hot
headed members of the organization
which are anything but credit to it.
The G. A. II. seems to be losing sight
of the fact that entire separation from
politics was one of the fundamental
ideas in its establishment. Its objects
were intended to be purely fraternal,
reminiscent and social. When it enters
upon politics, urged thereto by design
ing men, wlo, like FAIRCHILD, have
political axes to grind, it is treading for
hidden as well as dangerous ground.
And when some of its members even go
so far as to threaten insult to the preSi-
dent of a happily united country for his
observance of the country's laws, they
are certainty utterly devoid of the pa
triotism which is every veterans proud
est boast.
Many will be inclined to think that as
the sensible men in the st. Louis e. A.
Il. encampment would sufficiently out
number their recalcitrant brethren to
prevent insult or ill-feeling arising, the
president, therefor, rather over-eSti-
mated the possibility of his visit being
the occasion of contention, and the
means of preventing the establishment
of even more fraternal feeling between
the North and South.
/ Still no one will deny that Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND had ample justification for with
drawing his acceptance of the invita-
ton rendered him, be it remembered, as
well by the G.. A. r. as by the citizens
of st. Louis. His manly, Independent
and thoroughly patriotic letter should
be widely read, and cannot fail to in
crease the general esteem in which he
is already held.

WILL ENDICOTT RESIGN.

The rumor is gaining credence that
Secretary of War ENDICoTT has ten
dered his resignation to the president,
and insists that it be accepted by Sep
tember at the latest. There has been
evidence for some time that Secretary
ENDICoTT was not altogether satisfied
with his position, nor have the people
been altogether satisfied with him.
The post is largely an ornamental
one, and for an active, ambitious man
it presents few attractions. ENDIcoTT
has evidently tired of its limitations,
and desires to return to his beloved
Boston. He has done his best to ad-
minister what business the Office re-
quireS in as thorough a manner as pcs
Sible, but he has not been able to con-
ceal the fact that the position has been
an uncOngenial one, and in consequence
his manner has been miSconStructed by
many callers at his department who
freely accused him of aristocratic if not
sHobbish inclinations.
Whether these accusations are tr lie or
not, the fact remains that if Mr.. ENDI-
CoTT is not interested in his work, the
acceptance of his resignation will be to
the advantage of the department. His
successor should be Western man, for
it is with the West principally that the
army comes i'll contact, and he should
preferably be an old soldier, for there
are many technical details in the admin
istration of the department in order to
understand which the possession of
military knowledge is desirable.
And if the appointment does come
to the West, there are several old sol
diers in St. Paul who could perform the
duties of the Office with credit to them
selves and honor to their state.

The Chicago BoodIers.

CHICAGO, July TN the Doodle trial
the case of the five jurors suspected
of having been tampered with by the de-
fense came up for decision this morn-
ing, and the court ordered that they
should be re-eXamined as to their rela-
tions with the defense. The examina-
ton of Juror Ostrander developed the
fact that he knew his brother and Var
nell, one of the defendants, were great
friends. Juror Tate, who was next
called, admitted that he is warm fseend
of Varnell. He admitted having been
master of a Masonic lodge at the time
when Varnell was warden of the same
lodge. He and Varnell met each other
frequently. The juror admitted having
been partisan of Varnell's in society
dispute. He saw Varnell twice last
week. he said, and took glass of lemon
ade with him. The juror further said
that he expressed the hope that Varnell
would not be convicted.

TWO WICKED MEN.
They Are Turned Over to the Law
by the Girls They Victimized.

Minnie johnson, pretty Scandinav-
ian girl working at 222 East Tenth
street, came to Lieut.. Murphy at police
headquarters late last night and asked to

age of her cOnfding nature while they
were out for an evening walk about
four months ago, and is the father of
her unborn child. johnson was for
merly bartender in Seventh street

Attempted Train Robbery.

FORT WORTH, Tex, July 7.-An at
tempt was made yesterday to rob the
through Kansas express on the Santa Fe
railway between Pendleton and Temple.
The telegraph operator at Pendleton
suspected that something was wrong,
from the strange action of eight men
around the depot. He wired the train
dispatcher at Temple just in time to stop
the express train. An armed posse was
speedily raised and the train proceeded
nOrthward. Half way between Pendle-
ton and Temple the train was tagged
and an obstruction was noticed on the
track. No sooner had the train stopped
than six men attempted to board the
train. The posse opened fire on them
and one Of the robbers fell and the
others fed. The wounded man was car
ried off by his companions. Officers are
still out hunting for the would-be rob-
berS.

EMMA'S ANGRY FATHER.
Young MIR. Lift Driven Out of
Town By Citizens

Leon Lift, q young man with black
hair and muStache, who is connected
with wholesale cloth house in New
York, came up to Fonda, N. Y, three
weeks ago to spend a months vacation.
He has cousin in Fonda named C. NJ.
Lamline, who is in partnership with
young man named Walking. Lift made
his home with his cousin, and at once
struck up an acquaintance with his
Cousins partner, who seems to want to
help the New York man to en-
Joy his vacation. Among the pretty
girls with whom Lift became ac-
quainted were Lula Clark, aged
seventeen, and Emma Mclaughlin,
aged eighteen. Walker introduced
Lit to them: Lift betrayed partiality
for Miss Mclaughlin. Below the vii
of it rises grassy mound. One even
ing Walker and Lift, with the two
girls, walked down to the gypsy ell
campment, and then climbed up the hill
and sat down on the grass, where they
could overlook the encampment. While
they were there several young men
came along, and the remarks that were
made caused the young couples to
gather themselves back with all speed
into the village.
A story that the young men circu-
lated reached the ears of Mr.. McLaugh-
lin, the father of one of the girls. On
Monday last he sought out Lift in Lam
lines store and vowed vengeance upon
him. According to Lift he said:
"UnlesS you get me arrested I'll have
your hearts blood"
The next evening Lift left his Cousins
for walk. He had not gone more than
100 yards when two men stepped out
from doorway toward him. One of
them was Mclaughlin. With heavy
cane raised, he shouted, ''nOw we have
him!r and half a dozen others rushed
out with shouts of skill him."
Lift fled to his Cousins store, with the
syelling crowd in hot pursuit. He fell
exhausted just as he reached the door,
and was pulled in by his cousin, and the
door bolted. The crowd then retired,
but not before many threats, in which
star and feathers" and ''ride him On
raiI'' were significantly distinct.
The young man passed a night of ter
ror, and the next morning, fearing a re-
newal OF the demonstrations, he sent
for the sheriff, who, with deputy, es-
corted him to the 7:30 train, bound East.
He went to Albany, and was subse-
quently brought back to Fonda by
Deputy Sheriff MeKinlay for trial on a
charge of assault.

WIND, STARS AND SEA.

The wind and the stars and the sea, Is
What song can be sung of these three, Il
With words that are written in lines!
All, God of the star and the sea,
The voice of the song. it should be
The voice of the wind in the pines. n
The voice of the song. it should be
The voice of the coast of the sea,
Stepmother and wrecker OF ships;
As deep and as hoarse as the tune
Bleak Labrador sings to the moon,
With rocky and cayernous lips.
The wind and the stars and the sea,
The Arctic night knoweth the three;
No other sojourner it hath.
Save death and these three from of old,
To whose abode throned III the cold,
No living thing knoweth the path.
There nothing to grieve or rejoice
Fer lifts up the sound of its voice
A world ere the birth of a soul;
A thousand long ages speed by,
Still glimmer the stars IN the sky
Still whistles the gale from the Pole.
Amid the unharyested plains,
The biossomless land where death reigns,
The wind sings of doom and of graves;
1t tsings of the days when the world
Shall criImble to sand, and be whirled
Like dust in the teeth of the waves.
Where ice mountains thunder and crash,
Where frozen waves gurgle and dash,
Where love never came with its tears
Like lost worlds desolate CRY,
Shrill sea wind to sea and sky,
And only the ear of God hears.

tury.

Can't See Into the Future.

Red Wing Republican.
''Races at Hamline,'' ''Seven Heats
Trotted at Hamline," and like headings
and expressions in our great dailies
seem little queer and out of place to
those who have always associated the
name with one of the most religious, as
well as the most strict of the bishops of
the NJ. E. church, and with the religious
denominational university bearing
the piouS bishops name. Little do men
know what uses they may come to at
last. Bishop Hamline certainly never
dreamed that his name would ever be
honored by the sporting world by being
linked with the description of horse
races.

A WAR STORY VERIFIED.
The Young Confederate to Whom
Came Promotion When He Ex-
o. nected Death

The Young confederate TO whom
Came Promotion When He Ex-
pected Death.
A war reminiscence has been printed
in many newspapers, credited to the
Americus (Ga.) Recorder, to the effect
that while the Confederate army was
retreating from Shiloh and things were
in confusion at Corinth. a young sol
dier, evidently fever-stricken and suf-
fering, was ordered to work loading
train. He said he was too i'll. Gen.
Bra gg, who was at hand, was informed
that the young fellow wouldn't work,
and he inc person repeated the
order. Again the soldier said
he was too ill to work, whereupon
Gen. Bragg ordered lieutenant of a
Louisiana company to take six of his
men and carry the sick soldier to all ad-
jacent grove and shoot him. The squad
took charge of the victim. but just as
they were marching towards the grove
Gen. Bragg beckoned the lieutenant to
him and whispered something in his
ear. The soldier was placed in position,
but refused to be blindfolded. He
hastily wrote his mothers name and adj
dress OH piece of paper and handed it,
together with his watch and ring, to the
lieutenant charged with his execution.
then calmly knelt down and said: ''Now
/ am ready" The six soldiers raised
their guns and aimed them at the
breast of the soldier. Then, instead OF
the order s'Firel" the command "Re-
cover arms!'' was given. The lieutenant
then stepped forward and restoring the
young fellows property, congratulated
him Oh his cOoineSS acd bravery and
told him to hunt up his company and
ioin it: that he was not to be shot. A
few minutes later Gen. Bragg asked
that '.the boy" be brought to him that
he might promote him, but he couldn't
be found.
A st. Louis reporter found him re-
Gently, however, in the person of DR..
Charles Garcia, and from him obtained
confirmation of the above story. He
said the story was very nearly accurate.
He was looking for a surgeon i'll order
to get transportation to Tupelo, Miss,
as he was too i'll TO march. Gen. Bragg
ordered him to work, and on his refusal
to work ordered him shot. When he
knelt in the grove he closed his eyes,
and when he heard the order Recover
armsi' he was in daZed condition and
wondered how it was that he still lived.
The shock, however, completely cured
his fever, and he walked all the way to
Tupelo. suffering no more from that dis
ease

THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.

Notwithstanding the positive aSSer-
tionS made TO the GLOBE by Senator
VEST, it seems that President CI.EvE-
LAND will not make his trip to the West
after all. 1t also appears that the Grand
Army of the Republic will have to EN-
dure the uncomfortable reflection that
the idi0tic conduct of certain of its
members is the direct cause of the dis
appointment which will come to the en-
tire West through the presidents de-
cision not to take the contemplated
journey.
The presidents letter to the mayor of
st. Louis explaining his reasons for
withdrawing his acceptance of the i'll
vitation to visit that city is a plain,
straightforward and patriotic document.
1t exhibits that subordination of self
to the interests of the country which is
characteristic of Mr. CLEVELAND, and
can hardly fail TO meet with the
commentator of all except the
narrOw-minded partisan, who can
not realize that any good may come out
of Democracy, or Of the professional
veteran who sees political opportunity
in keeping alive the fires of sectional
Ism and prejudice, though the real
patriot who fought for his country de-
sires nothing more ardently tl.an their
extinguishment.
Such men as FAIRCHII.D and TUTTI.E,
if they are capable of the conscious
ness of their iIliberalism and narrow
mindedness, ought to feel very small
indeed after the perusal of the presi-
dents unscIiish letter. Certainly that
could be the only condition o. mind
